I would not be a good prisoner

some people make good prisoners
I would not be one of them
most people never get caught
I would be in the unusual half percentile that does

Some people like a roommate
until they see their open toilet
a roommate would hate me
I am up and down all night and gassy

I try to tow the line
I do not break into houses
or hurt people or steal things
for these and hundreds of other reasons
